Frequently Asked Questions

Should I empty my kitchen cupboards prior to your arrival?

ABC Pest Control will apply a gel to these areas which are often home to cockroaches. We do not apply a liquid spray in these areas. You are free to leave your cupboards as they are.

Will my household pets be affected by the treatments you use?

The safety of your pets is very important to us. You may rest assured that the active constituent that they may come into contact with, either when it is still wet or by inhaling or ingesting, is minute.

What actions should I take prior to the arrival of my pest control expert?

We will need access to the room edges as it will be necessary that we spray the skirtings. We would require that you remove clothing articles, newspapers, children’s toys etc from the ground surfaces. Items of food will also need to be cleared from table tops and benches.

Will the spray you use stain my carpet?

You don’t need to worry about any damage to the carpets such as staining due to the fact that the products we use water-based. They do not contain strong solvents that are likely to cause any problems for the colouring or finishes of your carpets.

What should I do if I accidentally touch any of the areas that have been sprayed?

This will only be a concern if the sprayed areas are still wet. Should this happen, wash with soap and lots of water as soon as you possibly can. After a relatively short period of time, the carrier, tap water will have evaporated and will not harm you in any way should you come into contact with the area.

Will the gel that you use on the inside of my cupboards cause any contamination to the food inside?

We apply the gel only to places within the cupboard where insects are found. This means it will only be applied to cracks, crevices, and hinges.

We would recommend that treatments are carried out once or twice a year depending on the environmental conditions.

There is absolutely no need to do this at all.
